About this map

The Chehalis River valley serves as the primary corridor for development in this part of Grays Harbor County, with the town of Montesano established along its northern banks. This 2011 survey shows the city’s organized street grid and its connection to outlying areas like South Montesano and Brady. The landscape north of the city is defined by the Sylvia Lake Dam and the recreational waters of Sylvia Lake, while the western edge is marked by the Wynooche Cemetery.

Further south, the terrain transforms into a dense network of watercourses including Smith Canal, Metcalf Slough, and Beck Creek. This area illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the coastal lowlands, where the Little North River and Salmon Creek wind through the southern hills. Local roads such as Monte Elma Rd and Brady Loop Rd E follow the contours of the valley, connecting the central hub at the Montesano Post Office to the surrounding timber and agricultural lands.
